Fibromyalgia And Pregnancy
By Jane Thompson

If you have Fibromyalgia and you want to have a baby, you might
be wondering what you will have to go through. There is very
little known about the effects of this condition on pregnant
women, and some of the research is quite contradictory. Some
studies suggest that Fibromyalgia and pregnancy are troublesome
together, and that expectant mothers often see an increase in
symptoms, while others say that some who are pregnant say they
feel better than they ever have in years.

There have been very few studies on what happens when someone
with Fibromyalgia gets pregnant. A study in Norway in the 1970s
concluded that women with this condition have exaggerated
symptoms and are completely miserable while pregnant. They are
also more prone to getting post-partum depression. Their
intensified symptoms lingered as long as three months after
giving birth. The babies, however, were healthy and normal.

Others claim that pregnancy hormones might actually reduce the
symptoms of Fibromyalgia. Though there are still the common ills
that plague some women such as morning sickness and aches and
pains, the other symptoms seemed to improve greatly while they
were pregnant. It would appear that what happens during this
time will differ greatly from woman to woman, and a person with
this condition will probably not know what to expect until they
experience it.

If you have Fibromyalgia, and you want to get pregnant, don’t
let your condition stop you. It would seem that babies born to
women with this condition are carried to term, are very healthy,
and come out a very good weight. However, there are some things
to be considered. You should remember that if you are on
medications, some are not going to be safe while you are
expecting. If you plan to nurse, you may have to stay off of
your medications while you are breastfeeding.

Talk with your doctor about what you can do to prepare for
pregnancy. Something like yoga might be a good idea. This is
moderate exercise with stress relieving qualities. This might
help you feel better while pregnant, and might also help you
conceive more quickly by reducing stress. Do you best to modify
your diet if you have not already done so, and if you go to a
new doctor once you have found out your are pregnant, make sure
you tell them that you have Fibromyalgia. You might have to be
under the care of both your obstetrician and your regular
doctor.
